I got the same specs as the op just in matte black. I wanted to also go without spacers but their offsets won't go lower than +20 so I'll have to run 15mm spacers in the rear. How many miles do you have on your car that the tires are bald already?

ZEDHEAD what lug nuts are you using on that. Ive been trying to do a lot of research on them and the only once i came up with were buddy club steel lugs and project kick caliber 24 steel lugs, but i really dont want to spend $100 on lugs.

Who did you order from oleg?? Im supposed to get an "installation kit " with mine, hopefully they are the right ones. This is my first time dealing with aftermarket wheels and I have been a bit confused on what the proper lug would be.

I ordered my wheels from vivid racing. My first time dealing with anything aftermarket but its supposed to be a different lug than the stock one. Something like a 60 degree angle on the part that will contact the wheel. From the research ive done about lugs I learned that steel lugs wont strip nearly as easy as aluminum if you take ur wheels off more often they are also stronger and many who run on the track will run steel lugs. Aluminum is fine if you're just daily driving, I just want that extra piece of mind knowing that my wheels are secured better. Also open lugs will rust easier inside but with proper care it shouldnt be a problem, people just forget to take care of that part.

I checked out a couple of wheel shops here in town and was disappointed with selection and price. The tire shop where I had my wheels mounted supplied them for $40 (spline locking set with a key.) They are not a permanent solution but enough to get me going.

I think I'm just going to go with this. They are the least expensive open ended lugs i can find that are steel. What do you guys think of them?

Any cone style lug (12 x 1.25) will work with them, but I would verify with the company you ordered from because there are 3 different styles of lug nuts: Cone, Ball and Washer...In any event if you get the wrong ones most wheel shops will carry what you need.
